I posed this to Ironman last night, but I'm curious what others think too.

just got put in a 12 team roto league. We're using 6 hitting stats (R, HR, RBI, SB, AVG, and OPS) and 11 pitching stats. Clearly a lot of emphasis on pitching. It's a keeper league and we can keep up to 8 guys but every guy you keep means losing a draft pick. It's also a very deep league - we start 12 hitters (2B/SS, 1B/3B, an extra OF, and a Utility on top of the traditional hitters).

Here are my current keepers (which are subject to a salary cap)
Matt Kemp
Adrian Gonzalez
Justin Verlander
Ian Desmond
Jason Kipnis
Madison Bumgarner

Or if I make a trade I can end up with:
Matt Kemp
Justin Verlander
Allen Craig
Matt Holliday
Jason Kipnis
Madison Bumgarner

The 2nd option gives me more pop with the bat. But the first option leaves fewer holes in my lineup and gives me a top 5 SS in a year with very few good fantasy options. Keep in mind that many of the other elite fantasy players are being kept by the other teams.

Basically I'd be trading Gonzo and Desmond for Holliday, Craig, and a middle round draft pick upgrade. What do you guys think?

By the way - the league has been created. Serious players inquire within.

Got a crown to defend.

We still doing this? Draft yet? If not, can you send me an invite from last year's league or do you need my email again?

Any other takers?

We have 8 scheduled for a draft tonight, but I will gladly postpone to add a couple more to get to 10-12 if we have serious players.

I didn't realize the draft was tonight. I don't think I can keep up with this league this year. Sorry guys. IM, you should probably cut me out.

Sent out a couple more invites. Let me know guys.

If you can't do it, exit the league now. We don't want dead weight.
